DEVICE FOR CASTING BILATERAL ARTIFICIAL HONEYCOMB.-

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 495,572, dated April18, 1893.

Application filed May 4, 1892. Serial No. 431,834. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.- I

Be it known that I, PAUL WARNSTORF, a subject of the Emperor of Germany,and a resident of Buslar, in the Empire of Germany, have invented a newand useful Device for Casting Bilateral Artificial Honeycomb, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention is a device forcasting bilateral artificial honey-combfrom wax or similar substance, which completely corresponds in shape tothe honey-comb produced by bees and adapted to replace the same.

The improved device is represented by the here annexed drawings inwhich- Figure 1 shows partly a side View and partly a longitudinalsection. Figs. 2 and 3 represent detailed views of the device.

The mold box A consists of two halves cl hinge-fashion connected witheach other at a and having in their bottomsanumber of hexagonal holesarranged so as to closely resemble jointly a piece of honey-comb.

In the bottom of one of the box halves cl the holes are somewhatdisplaced relatively to those of the other half so that when hexagonalcore pieces or pins 0 pointed in front are passed from outside to themiddle inwardly through all holes of both box halves (Z the points ofthe core pins 0 (Fig. 3) of the one side enter into interstices formedbetween the points of the core pins of the otherside. The set ofhexagonal cores 0 appertaining to each box half (Z is united at the baseby a plate B. To cast an artificial honey comb the two box halves cl arefolded upon each other and subsequently the core pins 0 are passed withtheir plate B fromeach side inward through the hexagonal holes. The coreplates 13 are locked to the boxA and thelatter is closed, by means ofsuitably placed hooks b or other mechanism. The liquid wax or othermaterial poured into the box A through its open side or through anaperture provided for this purpose, penetrates into the intersticesbetween the cores 0 and between the points thereof standing oppositeeach other, so as to assume precisely theshapc of natural honeycomb.After congelation or setting of the casting substance the locking deviceis undone and, one plate B with its cores taken out. A taking along ot'the wax is prevented by the core pins 0 fitting well into the holes ofthe box halves d. The box when opened presents the finished artificialhoney-comb.

What I claim is In devices for casting bilateral artificial honey combthe combination of two plates B having the core pins 0, and the twostripper plateshavin g hexagonal holes fitting over the core pins 0 asdescribed and shown.
